Charging Stations

Charging Stations are also known as EVCS (Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations). EVCS home owners have chargers that charge off-peak hours at lower rates, usually overnight. Public charging stations provide plug-in hybrid and all-electric cars with the option to add an additional charge before returning home.

Greetings from Green North Carolina

Greetings from Green NC showcases the local cuisine, sustainable architecture, artists and artistry within walking distance of the electrical vehicle charging stations (EVCS) that are increasingly becoming fixtures in the Triangle and State of NC. The charging stations will serve as pivot points for segments highlighting sustainable and green venues that are defining a forward facing “Green South.” Combined with the occasional eco-friendly destination off the “charging-station grid,” we are set to turn-in, tweet-out and blog about these new green south adventures.

So please join me as I tour the green south starting right here in my beloved home state of North Carolina.
